OUTDOOR PHYSICAL ACTIVITY PARK PETITION

We, the inhabitants of Mississauga believe it is vital that the city creates an outdoor area/park dedicated to physical activity. This area will be open to age groups ranging from young adults to senior citizens. We believe an outdoor area/park will help the citizens of Mississauga increase their overall health and wellness; an environment under the sun where we are not limited to the confinements of exercising indoors.

The architecture of this outdoor area/park would be extremely simple and practical consisting of exercise tools such as pull up bars, parallel bars and gymnastic rings.

The creation of an outdoor area/park that promotes physical activity would best suit the downtown Mississauga area. Targeting an area that has a high population would make it easily accessible to the public. Ideally, this would be around the Celebration Square area, where there are many current and newly developing housing communities. This area would be perfect because it is in the heart of Mississauga, where people near and far would travel to and take advantage of the park. This area will be a place widely associated with the cities outlook and promotion of healthy living and community. Encouraging creativity through physical activity will help develop leaders within the community, inspire co-operation amongst neighbours, improve physical wellness and create a constructive outlet for stress.

This area is a much-needed step in the right direction of physical activity and to insure that the people within the city of Mississauga are the healthiest they can be.
